Attempted Highway Robbery,
Last night about a quarter to twelve
o’clock Constable Frank McDermott ob
served two negro men endeavoring to lure
a white man away in Cooper Shop lane,
evidently with sinister design, and concluded
to follow them. The man was under
the influence of liquor and was carried by
the would-be robbers up Bryan street, when
they attempted to get him to enter a lane
neai the Baptist Church. Near this point
Mr. McDermott was fortunate in meeting
Policemen Buckley and Winkers, and in
formed them of his suspicions. They at once
hastened forward and captured the negroes.
The fellows resisted violently, but were soon
subjugated and catricd to the barracks.
One of the negroes, named Robert Strane,
feigned drunkenness and pretended net to
know what he was arrested for. A pistol
was found on his person. The other negro,
Wm. Grant, stated they were showing the
white man, James McGhee.to some house. A
charge of attempting to rob McGhee aud
also for resisting officers in discharge of
their duties, was entered against the negroes,
and they were locked up.
Police Arrest*.
Yesterday afternoon about 2 o’clock, Po
liceman Reilly arrested Fred Williams, col
ored, who was acting In a disorderly manner
on the streets, and carried him to the bar
racks.
James Bennett, colored, who had been
drinking too much whisky, was so disorder
ly in his house yesterday afternoon a3 to
disturb the neighborhood, and was arrested
by Policeman O'Keefe and taken to the
barracks.
A white man, very drunk, was found
snoozing on the sidewalk about two o’clock
yesterday morning, and, lt being rather
chilly and rainy, Policemen Fleming kindly
woke him up and offered him a bed at the
barracks.

Returned to Savaunab.
The Sylvania Telephone contains the fol
lowing :
“Mrs. Davis, of Savannah, came up to
Sylvania last Friday after her little son, who
killed a negro boy with a toy pistol in that
citv a few weeks since. She found the little
fellow stopping with relatives near this
place. He had made his way from Savan
nah to Bryan county and thence to this
piace. He returned to bi home in Savan
nah with his mother on Saturday morning.
The fatal termination of what was, doubt
less, intended only to frighten the negro
boy will 6adden bis whole life, and, we
hope, warn other boys against trifling with
firearms, howeve’r harmless they may seem.”
Not so Had Reported.
The bark Thomas Fletcher, Captain Gat
zen, from New I'oik, with guano, while
coming in to Tybee roads to aa anchor on
Friday night, was compelled to slip her an
chors to avoid going ashore, and ran on the
North breaker. She gradually worked off,
but it was found that she was leaking
very badly, and the tug Commodore Foote
took her in tow and brought her up to the
lower flats. It wasieported on Saturday
tin t she could not be kept free of water
and is in a sinking condition. Yester
day evening, however, she was towed
up to the Central Railroad wharf, when it
was ascertained that she was not so serious
ly damaged as at first supposed, and a sur
vey will probably be held on her.

A Sharp Thief Trapped.
Saturday night, between Sand 9 o’clock, a

arrested in the Market, at the instance of

larceny. Hester states that on Friday
Jeffrey was at her nouse, and shortly after
he left lt was discovered that two
gold rings, one dollar in greenback
and a pair of pants belonging to Hester’s
father had mysteriously disappeared. Sus
picion was at once directed towards Jef
frey, and Hester has been on the lookout
for him since. List night she happened to
catch 6lght of him In the Market and had
him arre6t.ed. He was carried before Mag
istrate Molina, when he denied the
charge, and said that another party
had the rings. When asked to find the in
dividual he confessed his inability to do so,
when Magistrate Molina informedxfcim he
would have to go to jail. This frightened
Jeffrey, who called Hester to him, and
showed her where he had concealed the
rings in the lining of his vest. She worked
them out, and then demanded the one
dollar. Jeffrey returned eighty cents,
having spent the twenty cents. He denied
having the pants. His guilt being evident,
the stolen property being restored in the
presence of the Magistrate, Jeffrey was
committed to jail to answer the charge of
larceny. _
The Banker’s Daughter.
Collier’s Combination, which appears
here to-night in the celebrated play
entitled “The Banker’s Daughter,” Is
headed by Mr. F. C. Bangs, who appeared
here some years ago as “Mark Anthony,”
and a strong support. The play possesses
great merit, and the company being good, a
fine performance may be anticipated.
Our Augusta contemporary gives a
lengthy and flattering criticism of the per
formance, and in conclusion says: “Col
lier’s Union Square Company made thei£
first appearance in Augusta last night in the
•Banker’s Daughter,’ and scored an unmis
takable success. Indeed, it would hardly
for the most unsympathetic au
dience to sit through such a drama, pre
sented as it was by an excellent company,
without having their attention riveted from
the opening scene to the deuouement. The
interest it excites is n&tural, and sustained
wit hoot a break or halt, resolving into
pathos, humor or enthusiasm, as each suc
ceeding scene portrays the varying emo
tions and impulses of human life with the
truth of a photograph from nature.”

ARRIVAL OF A PLEASURE
YACHT.
Rough Passage from Baltimore—A
Seaman Lost Overboard.
The yacht Nokomis, Captain du Verge,
arrived here Saturday morning from Balti
more after a very rough passage. This is
the yacht which was sighted off Hatteras
by the steamship Geo. Appold as flying sig
nals, mention of which was made in the
Morning News. She left Fortress Monroe
on Sunday afternoon last at 4 o’clock, and
on Friday, about midnight, when some
thirty miles north of Charleston lights, John
Cathnart, a seaman, was lost overboard from
the jibborm while fur'ing sail. Cathcart
was shipped in New York and was an Eng
lishman.
From Capt. du Verge we obtain the fol
lowing particulars of this sad event of the
voyage, which was successfully made by the
gallant craft after encountering rough
weather the entire way:
On January sth, when In latitude 32:55
north and longitude 73:36 west, dead reckon
ing, at 1:20 a. m. the yacht was under close
reefed sails; the wind’was S. W, baffling to
W. 8. W., squally, with heavy puffs, sharp
lightning from S. E. and N. VV., with sea
very heavy and hollow from S. The chief
officer, Mr. H. Benson, and three sailors
went on the jibboom to secure the flyffig
jib, which had been blown out from the
gaskets, and to prevent further damage from
the sail banging loose on the jibboom end.
The yacht was kept off southeast by south,
to make her ride more easily. While the
men were securing this sail, a heavy squall
struck the yacht, pulling her iee rail com
pletely under water for about five minutes.
At the same time a tremendous billow rolled
up, raising the yacht high upon its foaming
crest. The Captain was at the helm, and
perceiving the danger to the men, cried to
them “lookout on the boom,” but the force
of the wind and the roaring of the sea pre
vented his alarm being heard by the men.
The next instant the whole bowsprit was
under water, and the yacht a moment stood
still as though stunned. When she raised
her proud bow again, the flying jibstay,
new wire, of one inch and a quarter, was
flying to the leeward as a pennant, while
the torn flying jib wa6 hanging by its sheets
to the bowsprit.
The startling cry of “Men overboard!”
was then heard, and it was discovered that
John Freeman and the boatswain, John
Cathcart, were in the water. Several pieces
of wood were thrown overboard to them,
and the Captain having the two hail buoys
close at hand, threw one to Freeman and the
other to Cathcart, who were at
that time struggling in the water
about ten feet from the stern,
telling them to keep a stout heart and not
give up, as he was going to save them. Or
ders to veer the ship were immediately
given and volunteers called to man the
second cutter. Philip Sommers and Frank
Cosky offered their services, and the noble
little boat, weighing only one hundred and
fifty pounds, was launched. Torches and
blue light3 were kept burning the whole
time to assist the men in their rescue of the
struggling seamen. About half-past two
o’clock the gallant little craft returned with
John Freeman, a native of Russia, who had
been picked up in an exhausted condition.
John Catchcart sauk a few minutes after he
was in the water, and his body was not re
covered. He had on heavy rubber boots,
extra clothing and heavy oil cloth coat, and
his inability to keep up is attributed to this
fact.
Freeman, who was half drowned when
rescued, was promptly attended to, and in
a short time recovered. Some difficulty
was experienced in getting the cutter ou
board, as she capsized after the men had
landed on the yacht, and was twice carried
under the yacht, and it was only after the
third attempt that she was successfully
drawn up out of the water.
At half past four a. m. the yacht was
steered for Georgetown light, with a view
of getting in smoother water in order to re
pair damage. After the stay guys and sail
had been temporarily repaired and set the
Nokomis proceeded on her voyage, short of
men and fresh water. Spoke Charleston
pilot boat No. 7, and a three-masted schoon
er bound to Savannah. At midnight, whei
off St. Helena sound, took on board Sa
vannah pilot and sailed for Savannah river
and dropped her anchor in the stream op
posite foot of Bull street, on Saturday at 10:
20 a. tn., after six days of continued bad
weather, and hardship in her passage from
Baltimore. ,
The yacht is owned by Mr. Edward Padel
ford, Jr., son of the late Edward Padelford,
of this city, who has been in Savannah with
his bride the past, several days,the guest of
the Screven House.
The Nokomis is provided with all the
comforts of a pleasure yacht, is neatly and
substantially built, handsomely finished,
and, as may be judged from the voyage she
has just completed, an excellent sea boat.
KITCHEN ECONOMY.
Interesting Tests Made hy the Gov
ernment Chemist.
From the New York Tribune, December 17.
Dr. Edward G. Love, the present analyti
cal chemist for the government, has re
cently made some interesting experiments
as to the comparative value of baking
powders. Dr. Love’s tests were made to de
termine what brands are the most economi
cal to use. And as their capacity lies in
their leavening power, tests were directed
solely to ascertain the available gas of each
powder. Dr. Love’s report gives the fol
lowing:
“The prices at which baking powders are
sold to consumers I find to be usually fifty
cents per pound. I have, therefore, calcu
lated their relative commercial values ac
cording to the volume of gas yielded on a
basis of fifty cent3 cost per pound.”

THE NEW SAVANNAH RIVER
STEAMER.
Arrival of the Win. T. Wheiess—
Description of her Voyage from
New Orleans to Savannah.
The new steamer Wm. T.' Wheiess, Capt.
W. 11. Gibson, for the Augusta and Savan
nah river trade, whose arrival has been an
ticipated with such interest, reached her
wharf in this city Saturday about
half-past twelve o’clock. She had experi
enced a rough passage, encountering so
much bad weather, the effects of which are
noticeable in her exterior aDDearance. Sev
eral descriptions have been given of the
steamer, and none have exaggerated the
beauty and imi-h of her Interior or her accom
modations. Sbe will be a decided acquisi
tion to the river trade, and undoubtely be
come very popular with the traveling public.
During Sunday morning and afternoon
hundreds of our people, including many
ladies, visited the new steamer, and there
was but one opinion that we heard—that
she is admirably adapted, both in passenger
and freight accommodations, for the trade,
and is the finest steamboat in this section.
In many respects she resembles the Florida.
A handsome oil portrait of Major W. T.
Wbeless adorns the saloon, which is neatly
and attractively furnished.

SIIPREMB COURT,
Cases from Chatham— Decisions Ren
dered.
The following decisions in cases from
Chatham county rendered by the Supreme
Court have just been published:
Baker et al., trustees, et al. vs. Houston et
al. Injunction—from Chatham. Corpo
rations. Equity. Churches, Parties.
Speer, J.
1. The wrongful and violent seizure of
the edifice and property belonging to a
church of \ congregational form of govern
ment by a minority of the members, con
trary to the wishes of a majority, the depo
sition of officers of the church and of trus
tees who hold the property, the retention
and use thereof by the minority to the ex
clusion of the majority, furnish good
grounds for equitable relief.
2. Trustees of a church, appointed by the
Superior Court, have prima facie a right to
represent the trust committed to them, and
to protect it from an improper and illegal
diversion by others.
3. Where numerous parties have a com
mon interest, a few may sue representing
others.
Judgment reversed.
J. R. Saussy, A. P. & 8. B. Adams for
plaintiff in error; Chisholm & Erwin, Tomp
kins & Denmark for defendants.
Armstrong, Cator & Cos. vs. Pease. Com
plaint—from Chatham. Principal and
agent.
Crawford, J.
A voluntary agent without reward is only
liable for gross neglect in and about the
business of his principal. An agent who
has discharged his duty is entitled to all
necessary expenses incurred in the execu
tion of his agency.
(a). It follows that when, on the written
request of a person in Savannah for a first
class milliner, a firm in Baltimore sent out
a milliner who proved unsatisfactory, a suit
to recover the expenses of sending her to
Savannah would involve not only the ques
tion of her competency, but the nature of
the agency—whether for reward or not —the
diligence used, and what expenses were nec
essarily incurred.
Judgment affirmed.
Collier & Charlton, for plaintiffs in error;
George A. Mercer, for defendant.
Nathans vs. Arkwright et al. "Ejectment—
from Chatham. Prescription. Infancy.
Title.
SI’EEU, J.
1. The deed of an infant is voidable, not
void.
(a.) The recital of the payment of one
dollar as the consideration of a quit claim
deed is sufficient. That it was not actually
paid, does not affect the validity of the con
veyance. If not paid, it was recoverable.
2. An infant must disaffirm her deed with
in a reasonable time after attaining majori
ty, or her right of avoidance will be lost.
(a.) What is a reasonable time will de
pend upon the facts of each case, but will
not be longer than seven years after the
disability is removed.
(b.) Where a minor remainder man con
veys his interest in property, he will not be
excused from disaffirming his deed within a
reasonable time after attaining majority, be
cause the right to bring ejectment for the
land has not accrued.
3. Where a minor, sixteen years of age,
claiming a remainder interest in realty,
joined in quit-claiming all interest therein,
together with her brother, who was aiso a
remainderman, and of age, the quit claim
being in general terms indorsed on the back
of a deed from the life tenant, their mother,
and attested by their father after a lapse of
twenty years from her reaching majority,
during which valuable improvements were
made on the land by a bona fide purchaser,
such claimant in remainder could not re
cover the land. In such a case, ignorance
of what she had done would be no protec
tion against presumption.
Judgment affirmed.
A. P. & S. B. Adams for plaintiff in error;
Chisholm & Erwin, George A. Mercer for
defendants.
Schaefer vs. Georgia Railroad. Case—from
Fulton. Evidence.
SI’EER, J.
1. Where witnesses substantially answer
cross interrogatories, either by immediate
responses or by reference to certain answers
to direct interrogatories, their testimony
will not be suppressed because the cross
interrogatories are not more fully answered.
2. In a suit against a railroad for loss of
goods shipped over its line, it was compe
tent for the defendant to prove by the agents
of a connecting road delivery in good order
to it; and although the witnesses may never
have seen the goods, they may testify from
the books of their company, proved to have
been made in the usual order of business,
and to be accurate.
3. When a writing is shown to be lo3t or
beyond the jurisdiction of the court, secon
dary evidence of its contents is admissible.
Judgment affirmed.
M. J. Clarke for plaintiff In error; Hop
klus & Glenn, Henry Hillyer for defendant.
Fashion Notes.
The open sleeve is revived for house
wear.
Coat basques of plaidcd woolen goods are
worn.
Dresses shirred in front are still to be
worn.
Half-high shoes are much worn in the
house.
Long black lace scarfs are worn on the
street.
Seal-skin turbans are among the novelties
of the season.
The fashion of dressing the neck very
high is revived.
Triple ruches of black lace have made
their appearance.
Fleece-lined pique will be used for chil
dren’s winter dresses.
Wild roses are painted upon white satin
cap crowns for opera wear.
The long, graceful hanglrg sleeve, or one
of shirred lace, is becoming.
Satin comes with a frosted surface where
daisies and primroses blend.
The conspicuous hats of early winter are
giving way to more quiet styles.
Tints of water-green and pale gold com
bine in the •‘water-lily” pattern.
Gold lace Is much worn, but unless real
and the gold fine, It is not desirable.
Ecru dresses with garnitures of Oriental
embroidering are exceedingly stylish.
Breakfast caps, in the latest French style,
are encircled by a wreath of shrimps.
The figures of brocaded white satin are
outlined and underlaid with gold thread.
Sarah Bernhardt has two hundred and
seven different kinds of collars and cuffs.
Collars and muffs of undyed beaver are
the proper thing with dark woolen costumes.
Shades of gold and brown are used on
white in the passion flower design in bro
cade.
A fawn-colored cashmere dress has carna
tions embroidered upon cuffs, collar and
apron.
The beaver bonnets, with square crown
and broad brim, are made only in brown
and ecru.
Collar and cuffs of black silk, embroid
ered in pink daisies, and edged with old
lace, are worn.
Webbing or stockinet, of silk, and in all
the new colors, Is sold by the yard for cor
sages and sleeves.
House dresses of plain cashmere have
the sleeves embroidered in small star-like
patterns or daisies.
Open sleeves, cut longer In the back than
on the Inside, are turned up and faced with
a contrasting color.
Puffs of colored satin are inserted into the
outer seam of black dress sleeves when they
are worn in the evening.
Very long scarfs, of white fleecy wool, are
wound round and round the neck and fast
ened with a “lizard” pin.
Veils of red gusze are much worn in Paris,
although they injure the eyesight and make
the face look as if painted."
Silk neck handkerchiefs have disappeared
to the inside of dresses, instead of being
worn three-cornered outside.
The last freak of fashion Is to dress pre
cisely like a silk and silver gray quakeress.
To young, fresh faces, especially if the
owners have brown hair and eyes, this
style will be charming, and doubtless the
means of breaking lots of hearts.
Furniture and Carpet*.
Allen Ai Lindsay, 169 and 171 Broughton
street, have the largest and best stock of
furniture in this city, comprising everything
wanted by housekeepers, and al6o a splendid
assortment of carpets, rugs, shades, cur
tains and other upholstery goods. Their
stocks in these lines are well selected and
comprise all tUe latest styles and at prices
to suit all pockets. Parties away from
Savannah, who are about fitting up their
houses, should get prices from this
popular firm before they make their pur
chases. This will save them a good per
centage, as Allen & Lindsey sell on a smaller
margin than any other house in Georgia.
